Jack Ma

Jack Ma or Ma Yun(Chinese:马云; born September 10, 1964) is a Chinese business magnate and philanthropist. He is the founder and executive chairman of Alibaba Group, a family of successful Internet-based businesses. He is the first mainland Chinese entrepreneur to appear on the cover of Forbes. As of November 2014, he is the richest man in China (Hong Kong not included) and 18th richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $24.1 billion, according to Forbes.

Early life

Ma was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. His parents were traditional musician-storytellers. At an early age, Ma developed a desire to learn English, so he rode his bicycle each morning to a nearby hotel to converse with foreigners. He would guide them around the city for free to practice and improve his English. He did this for nine years. He became pen pals with one of these foreigners, and she nicknamed him "Jack", because his real Chinese name was too difficult to pronounce.

Geek Love

I was wondering what you would think about a stupid guy like me. Cause I was thinking it might be real cool to be real cool to be with a popular girl like you. You don't even look at me in school. What can I do to get you to notice me? Cause I always notice you. I guess I wasal ways way too short. I was never any good at sports. I don't want to a letter on my shirt. I don't want to be just like Kurt. I want to be your man. I want to hold your hand. I want you to be my girlfriend. We could be a team. Oh, baby! We could be OK. We don't have to hear what they think, so why should we care what they say? We could go to the movies. Get some popcorn and an Ice-Freeze. Oh well, I guess that that's OK. I forgot what I was going to say. Doesn't really matter anyway. Hey, hey, I could call you on the phone. Nobody has to know. Maybe I could walk you home from school. That would be my dream. Baby please that would be so cool. You don't have to tell anybody. You can still treat me like a fool. I might just be a geek, but I'm a geek in love with you. Geek love.
